GET THE LOOK
One of our most popular lighting combinations is a pairing of our Ellis and Perch Lights. To achieve the look shown below, we recommend hanging the 56” wide Ellis and 40” wide Perch fixtures about 18 inches apart, with the Ellis 5” lower than the Perch.
We always recommend that the lowest fixture is 30”-36” above a counter or tabletop, taking into account the height of the people in your household, and how you will use the space. If these fixtures will be hung above an island and you will be standing at your island more often than sitting, we \ recommend hanging your fixtures at the higher end of the suggested range.
To calculate the overall height (OAH) for each fixture, you will need to confirm the height of your ceiling and table or countertop. For example, if you have an 8ft (or 96”) ceiling and you would like the lower light to be 36” above your 36”h countertop, the formula to determine each pendant OAH is below:
ELLIS LIGHT OAH = CEILING HEIGHT (96”) – COUNTER HEIGHT (36”) – 36” CLEARANCE
ABOVE COUNTERTOP = 24” OAH
PERCH LIGHT OAH = CEILING HEIGHT (96”) – COUNTER HEIGHT (36”) – 41” CLEARANCE
ABOVE COUNTERTOP = 19” OAH
